The day is Friday. Yup. Kinda sneaked up on me this week. It just went, "Surprise! I'm here you bastards!" Yes, Friday is a little cocky today. Ignore it, and enjoy Maya stabbing a bunch of human's to death and feasting on their tasty entrails instead. ----- Vote for Sluggy Freelance at Top Web Comics. Please remember to vote everyday.

Maya does something nice - the age of miracles isn't gone yet! And she got a nice friend to spend some time with.
To Garyfritz, regarding the last comment section - I was indeed referring to Maya's species. It appears to me they have developed not from mammals but from lizards, or dinosaurs. And I don't remember them being referred to in the past as Trolorians, though I guess they might have been.

I looked back at our discussion of language, and I think this was the consensus: Dono keng ulto Trolo = not [keng] stranger Trolo Pasea Trolo = friendly Trolo I don't know if we've seen keng before, perhaps it's a be verb, but I think we can get the idea.

Interesting that the language went from Islander (dono ulto, kek ulto) to English (apparently), and back to Islander in 25000 years!?

I can't speak for the male Trolo, but Maya is definitely getting some ideas in her head...

And the least believable part of that sequence is the English. In my mind, the telepathic circuit inherent in the DFA (like in the TARDIS, which is the reason they can understand the later Trolorians in my imagination) for some reason didn't work on the Islander language, and Troloria reset the anima world to that era.

Well, I always referred to them as Trolorians, but you are correct that they were not named as such in-universe until Troloria herself appeared. :)
